“ this one is a favourite! bf took me there to celebrate my birthday and we had the best food/cocktails! so amazed we barely took any pictures will definitely go back there! only critic is that the food arrived all at once, with no time between the dishes... so next time i would order 2 or 3 dishes and then continue to order after finishing those. good service overall and cute ambiance! ”
“ Beyond our expectations and delicious. Love the bread!!! It was very delicious. Highly recommend the fried aubergines with goat cheese. The check peas one was good too. We were 4 people shared and no drinks, 19/pp. quite a fair price. Would like to try its brunch menu next time! ”
“ Great food! I went for dinner with my partner, and we ordered around 5-6 dishes which came to 90. The service was great and the staff were really friendly, and the food was absolutely amazing! We especially liked the fried aubergine dish - I would definitely recommend it. There are some outdoor seating which have nice vibes as it's right by the market, but we preferred the indoor seats which were more quiet. ”
“ Incredible food. Went in as a large group and had the taster menu. Food kept coming and none of it disappointed. Definitely definitely get the labneh, and the patatas bravas. Didn’t get the lamb but the waitress said that’s a winner too. Shame they don’t do pints but it’s worth the compromise ;) ”
“ This place likely needs no introduction, being part of the London restaurant scene so long it may as well be part of the furniture. A very popular spot, the place is always busy, but they provide ac wonderful stay off plates and have a great wine list which will keep even the most discerning client happy. For a decent, casual, if not cheap meal. Morito is definitely worth a visit. ”
“ Amazing experience. Shakira welcomed me in a fantastic way, and the group of close-knit people organized a wonderful dinner. Spanish and North African flavors, new ways to taste food and learn about different cultures. I must say I’m really satisfied—I highly recommend this experience! ”
“ We had an event in the downstairs space and the staff, atmosphere, drinks, food were just amazing as always! They were so accommodating for any dietary changes and had a large vegetarian selection. Would definitely recommend the private dining space for an intimate dinner or event with a large group! ”
“ Food was super good, we had patatas braves , fried aubergine, halloumi, bread of basket and lamb chops, all food was good specially the chops and fries. We had chocolate mousse with olive oil which was nice but different as I’ve never tried it that way. Customer service was good but prices are on the high end. ”
